Our Story
CrossLink Africa was founded with a clear vision: to extend the success of Top Management Afrique* to English-speaking Africa. For over three decades, Top Management Afrique has been the premier leadership institute serving Francophone Africa, empowering leaders across the region with the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed. Recognizing the need for a similar platform in English-speaking Africa, we launched CrossLink Africa to bring our proven approach to a new audience.
Our programs are designed by experts with deep experience in both the public and private sectors, ensuring that our training is relevant, practical, and immediately applicable. We draw on a wealth of knowledge from across the globe while remaining deeply rooted in the African context, making our training uniquely suited to the needs of our participants.
* Top Management Afrique is the Cogefi Afrique Groupe subsidiary focused on executive training for French-speaking Africa, equivalent to CrossLink Africa for English speakers.
Our Connection to Top Management Afrique
As a proud member of the Top Management Afrique family, CrossLink Africa benefits from a legacy of excellence in leadership development. Top Management Afrique has successfully empowered thousands of leaders across Francophone Africa, building a reputation for quality, innovation, and impact. CrossLink Africa carries forward this legacy, offering the same high standards and innovative approaches that have made Top Management Afrique a leader in the field.
